Robinhood Brings 50+ Cryptos to UK With Zero-Fee Trading and AI Tool

Robinhood has expanded its UK investing app into crypto, giving eligible customers access to more than 50 digital assets while adding an AI-powered tool to explain market moves.

UK customers can now buy and sell more than 50 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and Hyperliquid, through Robinhood’s main app. The service operates through Bitstamp UK, the crypto exchange Robinhood acquired for $200 million last year.

The company said there are no trading, custody or account maintenance fees. Customers will instead pay a 0.1% foreign exchange fee when converting currencies, while some weekend conversions carry a 0.3% fee.

The rollout follows Robinhood’s registration with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) on July 31. Bitstamp UK is also FCA-registered. Crypto assets held through the service are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme or the Financial Ombudsman Service.

Cortex brings AI into crypto trading

Alongside the trading launch, Robinhood is introducing Cortex Digests for Crypto. The generative AI feature reviews breaking news, market data, technical indicators and Robinhood’s own insights to explain what may be driving price movements.

The vision is to give users a simple market summary without making them dig through multiple sources.
